ST. LOUIS, Dec. 18.-Senora Amasta Rubio de Pascadera, notorious female bandit, was buried by the side of her lover at San Anto- nio, Zacatecas, Mexico, yesterday. In her early womanhood her intended husband was killed by federal troops and on his grave she swore to kill five men every year of her life. She more than fulfilled her oath. Her first exploit was to rob the Aganas Calientes stage near zacatecas. Single handed she put the postilions to flight, hailed the stage and ordered a supposed band of assistants con- cealed in the chaparal not to shoot unless re- sistance was offered. The eight passengers gave good booty. She continued career the citizens and enriched herself The au- thorities and troops were powerless to sup press her. She bequeathed her fortune to charities, dying natural death in obscuritY.

A Hung Jury in the Case of Mrs. R ob- fnsOn.
 BOSTON, Dec. 1S.-A hung jury is the un- satisfactory ending of the trial of Mrs. Rob inson for the poisoning of her son William. The court room was almost as crowded yes terday morning on the days of the trial Mrs. Robinson was not in court, her pres ence not being required until the return of the jury. It was said by her counsel that she was feeling well, though very nervous and anxious to know the result. A court officer whispered to MT. Crane as she came into court: s'I understand that the jury stand seven to five for conviction" with signi6- cant emphasis on the understand. The dis trict attorney also had similar information. Nothing more was heard from the jury all day, though they were taken out to dinner and tired, haggard lot of men they seemed to be. At ?. n. the court sent for them and asked if they were not able to agree. The foreman replied that he believed an agreement impossible, and thereupoR the court, after expressing regret at the situa- tion, dismissed them from further considers tion of the case. It is understood the jury stood seven to five in favor of conviction from the time they vent out until they were discharged.

VICTIM OF TRAFALGAR
Buried at London in lhe Presence O
 Hmm an SC ThrOnoa.

Immense ThronSs.
 LONDON, Dec. 16-The funeral of Linell who died in the hospital from injuries said to have been received in the rioting at Traf algar Square, took place to-day. Dense crowds headed by bands and banners as sembled in the East End and accompanied the remains to the cemetery, which was packed with people. Beyond few isolated conflicts the affair passed off quietly. The funeral was made the occasion of the most imposing public demonstration seen for many years. As the procession neared the cemetery it was mile and half long and it is estimated there were one hundred thousand persons in the crowds that thronged the streets throughout the route. When the procession reached St. Pauls cathedral the bands played the ftDead March in Sauln and the cathedral bells ceased chiming as token of respect. The cortege avoided Trafalgar Square. Among the pail bearers were Messrs. Cunningham, Graham, Stead and William Morris and Mrs. Besant. All the extremist clubs in London were represented.

SELMA, Ala, Dec. 16.-A horrible mur- der was committed here to day by William w. Jordan, 8 crazy faith doctor. He has been living in Selma for two months and in that time has gained great influence over the negroes, whom he told he had come to redeem the Jews. He arranged for Pass- over feast at the house of two negro wo- men on the outskirts of the city this morn ing and told them sacrifice would be nec- essary. Frances Druser said she was willing
 to offer herself and laid her head on the
 table. Jordan thereupon took sword and struck her several blows on the neck and stabbed her number of times, killing her.
 The body was then dragged out into the street by the two other women. A white woman witnessed the affair and gave the alarm.

10 Re Interrupted While The NHen.
 bers Enjoy the Holidays At Home.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Congress will un- doubtedly adjourn for the holidays on Thurs day of this week to meet on Wednesday, J an. 1. When the Senate meets tomorrow 1t is ex- peeted to adopt the joint resolution passed by the House on Friday providing for the holi- day recess, after which the special committee controversy between Senators Butler and Sawyer may be taken up and disposed of. Last week Mr. Butler secured the passing of a resolution creating committee on postal telegTaphy to which all matters pertaining to that subject were to be reported. Mir. Sawyer, who is chairman of the committee on .postofices and post roads, subsequent ly moved reconsideration of the resolution with view to defeating it and sending to his committee, which has heretofore had con- trol of telegraph matters, the propositions which MT, Butler desires to place in the hands of his special committee. If this controversy comes up it is likely there will be considerable earnest debate. The Senate is expected ~, to meet each have secret sessions for the consideration of nominations which are before the committee and which will be reported from time to time.
 In the House the Speaker will announce the committee rules and then the resolu- tion proposed by MT. Townshend providing for a call of the States and territories for the introduction of bills will probably be taken up. If this is adopted the call of the States and territories will occupy the better part of two days the first call for the introduction of bills in Congress produces aver age ], 500 or 800 measures. It is expected that there will be some discussions upon two or three important propositions which will come before the committee on rules, among them one to con- pei the committee on appropriations to re- port all it's bills within certain prescribed time.
